I'm a lurker rather than a poster, but have a question for all you ladies.
Do any of you use a craft / daylight lamp, and if so which one ? My DH has agreed to buy me one for my b'day, but wants a specific model etc.
Thanks for any advice

More photos for you guys

Firstly, my latest BD update, not done much this week with the lovely weather, WE HAVE SUN :j :rotfl:



Some of you may remember my mum's mackintosh roses I stitched last year, I finally got a frame for them and will send it this year, along with some real ones as its her 60th :T



And finally I framed pink bear and posted it off today, fingers crossed it arrives safely.

I may have bitten off more than I can chew. Those little cake designs are only 3" by 3" and yet are taking me about 6 hours each, and that is 6 solid hours of not moving off the chair even to pee. I have two and a half completed so still need to get 6 and half done, and finish the sampler, all before Saturday night to give my Mum a chance to get them made into cushions for me.

We are out again tomorrow day but should be home for teatime and I have decided to just work on the sampler and get it completed. Then work on the cakes and if I don't have time to finish it then I can post it to Australia when it is done.

Anyone know where I can buy an extra few hours in a day....lol

(and yes lol I have tried googling it)

caroline, ouch they do sound time consuming and rather tedious
chicky sorry cant think of the programme, can you remember any of the details of the programme to try and jog our memories for you

chickywiggle

it's a really old Mr Men theme tune. I KNEW that's what it sounded like but couldn't find a clip to prove it.

Squishy. Thanks for the update photos. Great progress

chicky. Was also in hysterics / horrified by the Call Centre

Sorry can't help with music query

skiergirl. I find my sewing lamp invaluable. Mine has halogen bulbs plus bendy arms - one with a magnifier and one with a chart holder. I bought it from a show where I could try different styles ad decide on the one that suited me best
